The Statesman of Tuesday, in an article nn the ubject of Ohio Stocks, containing its usual disproportion of mucA falsehood with a littlt truth, renews its attempts to throw upon "Kelley St, Corwin," the blame of the present embarrassed condition of the State finances, and the depreciated price of State stocks. He says, "no womlor State Stocks are down, when the Fund Commissioners, immediately after the adjournment of a Federal Legislature, resorted to the miserable expedient of borrowing the credit of t-pended banks, and pledged a large amount of Ohio bonds as security." Tho Legislature thus stigmatized as "Federal" was the one before the last, in which his own party had a decided majority in one branch, and the Whigs an equally decided majority in the other. Which house overshadowed, and gave its complexion to the other, so as to the federalize (if we may use the word) the wholo? And on which docs he lay the charge of authorizing the Fund Commissioners to borrow money on the best terms practica ble on temporary loans, to pay the debts then duo contractors, and to carry on the public works, and to hypothecate stock to secure tho payment of such loan ? But one of these Fund Commissioners, whom tho Statesman stylos Gov. Concirit Fund Commissioner, holds his appointment from Gov. C, and this one was in favor of pursuing a course which would have cut off two thirds of the expenditures made on the pub lic works during the last season, and consequently would have avoided the necessity ot making a large portion of the temporary loans of which tho Statesman complains. Lot tho Statosman bear that fact in mind for the future. Again: Neither of the llanks from which the loans were obtained, immediately after the adjournment of the Legislature, (a yoar ago,) to wit, the Franklin Dank and the Chillicothe Bank, have offered for sale, nor in any way thrown upon the mar ket, one dollar of the stock hypothecated to secure those loans, as intimated in Die extract from the N, Y. Herald quoted by the Statesman. Nor is it probable that any of that stock will be offered for sale by either of these Banks. Both have proposed to tako thoir own notes in payment of tho instalments which will be due them in May. and it is not unlikely that the grcator part, if not all of tlicso payments will be made in tlicir own notes. The Statesman is not less in fault in regard to the amount "sorrowed from the Trust Company's Agent, in Now York, to pay the last January interest" The amount advanced by that company in Now York, to aid in the payment of interest was, as we are inform. ed, about (75,000. To secure the paymont of this amount, and also of temporary loans obtained from other institutions during last summer, fall, and winter, stock was pledged agreeably to the law of the 2Hh of March, 18-1 1. Besides paying the January intorest, tlieso loans have beon reduced, we under stand from good authority, to little more than ono third of tlicir original amount Does the Statesman mean to be understood as condemning the Fund Com missioners for borrowing money in New York, to supply the deficiency in the interest fund, (which could be made available in New York to pay the in terest due in January last,) owing to the great diffi culty which then existed in converting Ohio funds into New York funds, and to the interest fund in Ohio having beon paid out on the public works, un der the expectation that it could be repaid by the avails of loans contracted for those works ? Would the Statesman, under Uieso circumstances of tempo rary embarrassment, have suffered the interest to re main unpaid and the State to be disgraced? And what in your opinion, Mr. Statesman, would have been the market value of Ohio Stocks at this time, if the January interest had remained unpaid ? The Statesman asks whether the bonds hypothecated with the agent of the Treat Co. are not now in market n! my frice t It is gnnerally understood that where stocks, or any other property, are hypothecated to secure the payment of a debt, tho creditor has au thority to sell in a cue of failure to make payment This wo understand to bo tho object and meaning of "hypothecation." And such is the fact wo premium in this case. But we are informed that arrangements have been made, or are now making, which will probably prevent a further sale of slate stocks at tho present reduced prices. The leto period to which the action of the Legislature upon the subject of the Btato debts was postponed, necessarily deferred tho arrangements in contemplation by the Fund Commissioners, to prevent a sacrifice of some part of Uie stock hypothecated to secure temporary loans. Tho uncertainty which hung over tho character of the legislature on this subject whether or not a stop would be put to the increase of the public debt and whether or not tho means would be put in the hsnds of the Commissioners to discharge the temporary liabilities of tho Stato and provide for the punctual pay ment of the interest in future, had the clfcct to delay the restoration of that confidence in the ability and disposition to meet her engagements, which prompt and efficient legislation on tho subject would have inspired at least to a considerable extent Thus much we have deemed it necessary to say by way of explanation to the public, in reply to tho interrogatories and insinuations of tho Statesman, but it by no means concludes our private account with the editor of that print His impertinence in slip ring up the subject at all, for tho purpoao uf throw ing suspicion or blame upon Gov. Corwin shall not pass further without attention. If in prosecuting our enquiries into the proceedings of the Board of Fund Commissioners, we shall "carry the war into Africa," the Statesman and its friends may have themselvos to thank for tho issue. ANOTHER RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION. Mr. Wise has submitted a proposition lo Congress to do its own printing. He suggests the erection of a plain, substantial brick building, not to cost seer 110,000, to contain steam presses, types and apparatus, not to exceed in cost fcV),000, and to appoint a public printer at asalary of $1,500, who should have the immediato management of the establishment, un der Die general superintendence of the Vice Presi dent, Heads of Department itc tie. In order to carry out this notable scheme, we would suggest to Mr. Wise, that the government should employ Pcni- Umtiary convicts, or purchase up Uie necessary forco in Uie slavo markets at Uie South, to perform Uie la bor. It is always advisable to be consistent and thorough in measures of reform. THE MORALS OK LOCO KOCOISM. The Globe is out against Uio cause of univer sal education. It saysi "Our schools, generally, are in Uie hands of men who inculcate principles at war with Uie genius ot our government." Ate- Nulty, in moving a proposition in our Stale Legiali tore, to abolish Uie common school system, was only anticipating Uio loading Loco Foco press of Uie Union, Education qualiliee young men to detect Uie fallacies of Uie Loco Foco system of politics, and, so fsr, is "at war" with what Uie Globe interprets as the "gonitis of tho government" Knowledge being attended by such results, Uie Globe's remedy would be to keep mankind in ignorance and govern Uiein through the passions and prejudices which are ever found in the company of ignorance. The Illinois State Register, the leading loco Foco journal in Uwt Bute, attacks Uie Temperance cause. It is not easy to conceive uie motive tor aucn a feeling of dislike, unless an apprehension exist that the reform sought for is calculated to impair the strength of the party at Uie polls. Such doubtless will be its tendency. , And yet the Register would sustain a system of party politics which involved the continuance of all the horrors which Intemperance has brought into the world. Thank heaven, we belong to no such party. On the contrary we say, speed the cause of Temperance and Common Schools I The system of politics that will not bear the investi gation of Knowledge, aided by sober Reason, cannot be too quickly discarded. BRIDGE BURNT. The Bridge over the East Fork of the Miami, at Batavia, Clermont co. was destroyed by fire, on Wednesday night of lost week. The Courier pub lished at that place, says that the Bridge was built in 1834, and cost the county five thousand dollars. How the fire originated, whether from accident, design or lightning, is unknown. A very extraordinary circumstance attended Una fire, if we are to credit literally an account of the same furnished by a correspondent of the Statesman. He says that when the inhabitants were aroused by the alarm, "tho first thing that met their sight was one sheet of flame embracing the whole village." They could hear the cry of fire, but in consequence of the " darkness, and fright," could not tell where it was. The writer could hardly have got over his " fright," when he wrote his account THE EXCHEQUER SCHEME. We have not interested ourselves greatly on Uie subject of Uie Exccequer projects which have been successively submitted to Congress, and the country, in general terms by the President and his Secretary of Uie Treasury, and more in detail by Messrs. Gush ing and Talhnadgc, because we have not believed for a moment that there was Uie slightest danger of their being adopted. No action has been had upon the matter in either House, since tho reports of the Select Committees through the gentleman lost above named ; but Uicre has been time for an interchango of opinions, and from what wo hear Uiero is not much reason to apprehend that wo havo judged amiss. In proof, and to communicate to our readers Uio views which prevail elsewhere, we copy Uio following paragraphs from papers which have como to us in Uie same mail : From the Washington r orroipondence of die N. Y. American. The nrosDccts of the Exchequer scheme prow worse daily. Testimonials against Uiein multiply from all parts of the country, and the only voices raised in favor of Uiem como from persons of peculiar interests and occupatious in Now York city, and in some of Uio cities and manufucturing towns of New England. Testimonials of this sort, however, will not weigh much with tho Whig Representatives of Uio Agricultural sections. They are particularly suspicious of any plan which is adapted to firomote Uio views of capitalists of Uio East. Some ligh authorities, however, in Boston, New York and llaltiniorc, nave como out against uio ftxencquer Boards, and many from all parts of Uie country aro loudly declaring Uio necessity of a great complete system of measures on the old republican plan of finance, which governed Uio country from 1700 to ItVHI. No scheme will be adopted Una session, but Uio subject will be opened and the way will Be prepared lor Uie final trial ot Uie grand question and uio only alternative a return to tho sub-Treasury or a great National Bank. Tho whole West is ready for this contest, snd neither party will listen to any tonus of accommodation. X lie worui and tMi may taKe Uieir ground as soon as they please ; but it mttif be on either Uio undisguised sub-Treasury, or Uie full-blooded National Uank. With thesub-Treasury shall triumph also, Free Trade, Repudiation, Hurd Money, Low Wages, Direct Taxation, and every Loco Foco abomination of desolation. With tho Bank alone can you have from Western votes, a Tariir of Protection or any other Whig measure; and it is only with it that you csn retain Uio Bankrupt Law, or Uie Distribution Act From the Washington Correspondence of the V. 9. (Pliila.) Mr.Tnllmadire'a Exchequer Plan will betaken up for consideration in the Senate on Momlny next For one, I have no expectation Uiat any Exchequer Bill will pass this session. I do not know but his plan might be belter for the country Uian nothing; but it is not Uie measure that is to cure the manifold evils under which the people aro writhing and groaning. The discaso of the country is beyond Uio reach of a tea spoonlul ot Godlrcy a Cordial, or five dm ot Paregoric; it requiresa bold physician and powerful remedies. Let Uie people now ponder on theso things. Ict them go on in Uieir madness, pulling down and destroying, and see how much better they make Uieir own condition thereby, while Uiey are making beggars of Uiuusanda of Uio most industrious, enterprising, prudent and upright citizens. Let them exult as tho fabrics, renrcd by the industry and enterprise of tho country fall into ruins around 'Uiem; and when all shall bo one extensive mass of ruins, lot them look around upon Uieir work, and ask tiicin-sclvca what is now to become of it ? NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. We do not think Uie Statesman will raiso a very loud shout over Uie result of the election in New Hampshire. The returns from S. tow ns show that "general apathy, who has done Uie whigs so much mischief, is besettingUie Loco Focos. Thus far Uie vote stands fur Hubbard, federal, 5'AVJ, Stcvons, whig, '-.!, White, conservative, 1718. The Federal candidate has probably been elected, but the majority will be something less than last year. A more en- orgetic effort on tho part of the Whigs, would have overthrown the Loco Focos entirely. The N. Y. Express has Uie following details, as far as heard from. Barton, " Radical " toco FoeocandidatofnrCoun-sellor is probably defeated. In Concord, Jenness, "Conservative," received about tkJO votes, and Barton iiOO. The towns of Portsmouth, Newcastle, Hampton, Greenland and Nowmarkct givo Jenness Ml, Barton, 'til, Branscomb, (Whig) '.fill In Concord no choice wss effected fur representa tives, in Pittstlclil, Norris, Radical, and Speaker of trie last House ot Representatives, has been beaten by Knowlton, Conservative, the Whigs uniting with them and voting for hurt, This is a sad blow to Ute Radical party, as Norris was one of Uieir groat guns. Canterbury has also elected a Conservative. Whig representatives were chosen in Dover and Manchester. Portsmouth has chosen four Conservatives. The long unbroken phalsnx of New Hampshire Loco Focoisin seems at length shaken to its centre and wo shall watch with some curiosity Uie results of the lamily quarrel. A MOVE OF THE RIGHT KIND. The people of Guernsey county have set an example worthy of imitation. They are not content with talking in favor of a Tariff but are ready load. We find Uie following notice in the Timet, published at Cambridge, and hope it is Uie beginning of a se ries of movements of Uie same-character, which will extend Uiroughout Uie Slate. ' Till Tiairr. This subject having again becomo a gcnernl topic ot discussion, the public mind in all parts of our country being almost totally divorted IVom every other political subject, and fixed principally upon tins and Ohio having a deep interest in the subject as deep an interest perhaps as any ,Hher Stale, of proportionate extent of territory and popu lation, ought it is thought to be among Uio first to speak out ill the agitation nl this question. An ex- Eression of the public will in this State ought to ho ad on this subject Public meetings, it is tiiought, ought to be called, and the subject publicly discussed. A irenemJ meeting- for that purpose will therefore be held in Uie town of Washington, on Saturday Uie l!Ho inst., at roc iocs r. ju. A general attendance of the cttixons of Guernsey county, of all parties, is respectfully solicited. March lit, ltH MANY CITIZEN KJ" We clip Uie following from Uie N. Y. Tribune. Loco Foeoism seems to be of a piece Uie world over. The Loco Focos of Misaiasirrt are nutlinir in their objections to Uie nomination recently made for them at Jackson by a few of their loaders of Van Huron snd Johnson for President snd Vice. One of their papers the Dollar Democrat gives, among omrr cogr-m reasons, uie following sgainsi una lore-stalling nomination t We may all of w k frying in i7 before 7yr'i time is em. Rather a shrewd guess for an AnU-Bonder. THE RIVER, WEATHER, etc. The heavy rains for two or three weeks past have filled Uie Ohio up to the brim. The water at Ctn- cinnaU is higher titan it hos been before in three years, and Uie swell above is still very heavy. For five or six days we have had no rain. During Uie most of Uie Ume we have had a dry north west breeze, and frosty nights. The effect upon Uie health of Uie community has been in the highest degree favorable. The wind is now southerly again, and the air is dclighfully like spring. RETRENCHMENT. The whigs are engaged in Uie House of Repre sentatives at Washington, in Uie work of retrenching unnecessary expenditures. They encounter Uie opposition both of Uie Loco Focos and Uie Tyler squad notwithstanding Uie Bankruptcy of Uie Treasury, und Capt Tyler's earnest calls for more money. From the N. Y. Tribune. THE TARIFF REVISION. There Is hanllv mom for difference on this nnint that the Tariff of Duties on Imports must be revised at the present session of Congress. The Revenue is notoriously, glaringly inadequate. 1 he last Ad-ininistraUon expended Fifteen Millions of Dollars which had been accumulated under a higher Tariff oy uie preceding, and ran in dcbtseveral Millions by issuing Treasury Notes. The Expenditures during Mr. Van Huron's four years exceeded the nett Re ceipts of those yeors by more than Twenty Millions of Dollars. The present Administration commenced with no surplus, but a pressing Debt instead, while the Tariff, greatly diminished during Mr. Van Buren's four years, was still in process of reduction, and ib to be filially reduced very much on tho 1st of July next It Slirclv cannot be nrctnnilod with nnv show of rea son or fairness that Uie Government can bo efficiently conducted upon Uie Revenue arising under Uie present Tariff, as it will stand afler that reduction. As to the alternative of continuing Mr. Van Buren's borrowing, shinning, Treasury Note device, we find no open though iiiiiuy virtual supporters of tliat. At any rate, wo trust those who are so greatly shocked at the idea of a National Debt, and who are perpetually quoting Mr. Jefferson's deprecation thereof, will not insist on continuinp- in practice what Uiev so violently denounce in tho abstract. The Govern ment has been disgraced and crippled by this shinning policy long enough. Lot us have an end of it forthwith ; and wc can have it only by raising more Rev enue. How sliull wc do this There are some half dozen journals who talk occasionally over Uie shoulder in tuvor oi uirecl J iuatwn, hut Uiey are not half in oarnest Tho enormous cost, the meagre proceeds, of that kind of taxation were abundantly tested du ring uie Last w ar. nut then, there was an abundance of money in circulation, and he who had any ug to sen couiu reauuy imy ins taxes, now uiere e whole counties in which a Uiousand dollars of oar money for taxes could not bo raised without constraining sacrifices of property to tiiree times the value. With warehouses full of Pork and Grain, Uiey are hardly able to pay Uieir State Tuxes, snd, if Uie Federal Government were to lny more, Uiey could wiUi great difficulty be collected. But says Loco-Focoism, You must restore to 'Uie Treasury Uie Public Land Proceeds, which 'you havo apportioned to the States.' Well, suppose this were dune; how much would it add to Uie Revenue? Less than amillion dollars last year; a littlo mure or less tins. This is but a drop in the bucket and so it will remain while our Agricultural Products remain at Free Trade, Sub-Treasury prices. Who will buy Public Lands to any extent, when the Produce Uiat may be raised tiieroon will not pay for carrying to market, and when it can bo occupied without paying for it? It needs Protection and a National Currency to make the Land tcorth buying. We have of course a aeepor oojcc.uon uian uus to wis recourse wo are inflexibly hostile to any application of Uio Land Proceeds to lite ordinary purposes of Government It is a Uiriflluss, shortsighted, squandering policy just like that of Uie profligate heir who sells Uie timber off his ostato to meet his daily expenses. But it is enough for the present purpose that successive Presidents and Secretaries of Uio Treasury have declared Uio Iind Proceeds too precarious and fluctuating lo be relied on as a means of meeting Uie Annual Expenditures of the Government Wo come back at last to Uie only nroner and ade quate resource hiaher duties on Imunrta. These must nianitestly be laid, un wtiul principle Hori zontal or Discriminating ? Phis has been settled by tho votes of Me We Trailers themselves. At Uie last or Extra Session, they resisted to Uie utmost and suc cessfully the imposition of duties on Tea, Coffee, cVc. on Uie distinctly avowed ground Uiat these, being ar ticles of general neccssitv, not produced in tiiis country, ought to be aitmlited fret. The inevitable converse of this proposition is that other articles must bo subjected to higher duties Uisn they would otherwise pay. Tho vote on Tea and Coffee established the princinlo of Discrimination beyond a cavil, and Uio r reo 1 raucrs voted en masse to exempt Salt and several other necessaries in liko manner. They are tiiercforo estopped by tlicir own repeated acts from ny opposition to Discriminating Duties. But moro than all, the Co.ioiTioxorTiir. Coirs- try calls loudly tor the judicious increase ot Uie 1 a- nlf. Our currency is bruken down and vitiated ; our Produce is selling at rates ruinously low for tho pro ducer; snd in many seeUons of tho country money can hardly bo obtained for it at any rale, 'l'lte land is lull ol provisions which cannot bo sold, and lor want ol which those who mako our llouiing are tarnishing. This is partly caused by the grasping poli cy of Great Britain, but its occasional recurrence is inseparable from a system ot exchanging 1'rovisioi s for Cloths with a Nation four thousand miles off. Such a trade must always be insecure and fluctuating; and if tolerably steady, the cost of transporting the Provisions oats up their value and leaves Uie produ- duccrs dependant and beggarly. It is a monstrous disregard of Uie plainest dictates of Economy to send flour from Chicago and Cincinnati to Leeds for Clot lis and Sheffield for Cutlery, when tho same manufactu rers could pmduco just as much cloth and cutlery at Pittsburgh and Peoria, and thereby save to themselves and our fanners Uio enormous cost of sending Uio uour ana i out irotn inuiana to r.ngianu. it is, ii must be our true policy, to invite hither Uie manufacturers rather than Uio goods. The Country could pay to-morrow lor h illy Millions' worth ot Manutac lures to producers on our own soil easier Uian ii can nay for Twenty Millions' worth brought from Great Britain. Yet every duy is crowding our ports with new cargoes of costly goods, poured in by foreign manufactures, consigned to foreign agents, and rattled off at auction on foreign account Every fresh load takes away more coin from the country and forces the Banks to contract tho Currency, whilo it cheapens tho goods and produco held by our merchants ami hurries thorn on to bankruptcy. There are now millions' worth of goods in this City which cannot Uiis yoar bo sold to consumers at any price tor want ol means; there are millions worth ot Produce in our store-houses in liko condition, and hold ers are giving way on every side. New Orleanssits desolate as at tho height of a pestilence ; Pittsburgh (says our correspondence) was never so paralyzed and gloomy as now. From all sides, the cry of distress reaches us Labor seeking employment Produce falling, debts pressing, and Uie Currency depreciated and useless. Protectio.-. to Home Ikpi'strt is the cure for this sggregation of evils, and it cannot oe too quicaiy or citicicntly afforded. Bakiri'pt Law. The question of tho constitu linnalily of the Bnnkrupt Law was raised in New York on the 1st March, before Judgo Belts of the United States District Court, and was to be argued a few days thereafter. This just and righteous measure of relief to suffering tiiousands, has a more determined opposition thnn any law that was ever before so loudly cslleil for by Uio people. Wo havo faith, however, that it will stand sgainst all at tacks out of Congress, as it did aiminst the most fu rious opposition within it and remain a monument to the wisdom of our National Legislature and an abiding evidence of Uie justice of our times.

It will not be deemed vanity at my age to say Uiat at twenty-five I was possessed of a full share of the ordinary personal charms of youth. Within a litUe of Uie Chestcrfieldiaa standard of height, five feet ten, with locks dark as Uie raven's wing, (alas I the driven snow is not whiter now,) wiUi fair complexion, and possessing what is generally conceived sufficient good sense and education for all Uie practical purposes of life, it may be thought Uiat my experience in matters of Uie heart ought to have proved an exception to Uio rule tint 'the course of true love never did run smooth.' But, alaB ! not so. It was my fortune to become acquainted with a young lady possessed of so many charms, mental, moral and personal, and sosupcreminent in each, Uiat it was indeed impossible tor me to avoid falling, as I did, desperately in love with her. As far as glances of the eye, and occasional inuon-does might go, I dout not Uiat I succeeded lull well in imparting to her a knowledge of Uie stato of my heart; and I will not presume upon your patience so much as to detail Die testacy of joy with which I first discovered, or fancied that I discovered, through similar media, a reciprocity of feeling on Uie part of Uie young lady. Lei it suffice to say that Uiis was Uie case, and Uiat Uie jime came when it was incumbent upon me to mako a distinct avowal. This,atler long and perplexing ilental debate, I resolved to do by letter ; and alter writing some forty epistles on as many sheets of gildeqsatin paper, I finally succeeded in forming a Tetter.tf about six lines, containing, as I thought, Uie condensed quintessence of every Uiing Uiat could or outiit to be said on Uie subject Of Uiis precious morcanj, I retain now but slight recollection. That it abouided with terms expressive of pure, ardent, warm, glowing, undying, everlasting, and unprecedented affection, I havo not the least doubt But unfortunately, tliu little sicciincn of epistolary excellence was scu-ccly finished, when chancing to peruse some of tiis experience of a pre decessor in the patlis of lore, I reud that notiiing was more unwiso or dangerous, Uian making an offer of one's hand and heart oy tieaus of pen and paper. With the credulity ot asimple mind, 1 at once gave implicit credence to tils doctrine, and frightened at tho fearful precipice which I had so narrowly avoided, I immediately destoyed niy letter, and resolved to declure myself in person, with my ownlips ami voice, aim to near wiuiiny own ears uie reply which was lo seui my uestiry. Never did an Alexander, a Wallace, or a Napo leon, feel the inspiring effects of a heroic resolution more powerfully than I felt jie influcnco of this. I had resolved I would execute ! 1 walked Uie streets with a proud conscioulness cf the heroism of my re solution ; and in Ute height of my pride, fairly feared leBt in Uie words of the poetl should strike lie stars with my lofty head. But sessible of Uio imperfec tions ot human powers, and conscious that mine in particular were liable to tail in so delicate an emergency, I resolved at lost to comiiit to memory my declaratory speech. This undignified and foolish tiling I did. Instead of trusting to the wann outpouring of an ingenuous heart, which in some way at leust would huve menaced to make itself understood and felt, I committed to memory a cokl funnula of words, to bo delivered as the school boy recites his speech, of which it is sufficient for the purposes of Uus article to recollect tho following sentence! "Miss Adams, will you allow me to oiler you my hund and heart ? The fearful hour arrived. The evening of my wonted visit approached, and I found myslf seated by the sido of my adored, in Uio summer evening twilight The last rays of the setting sun had gradually disappeared from the rosy clouds that lingered ubove the wost Tho full moon rode high in heaven, and one by one the glorious stars becamo visible : " In such a aifrlit Stood Dido with a willow in her hand, Upon Uie wild sea banks, and waved her love To come again lo Carlhnge.

The time, the silence, the scenery, every thing was appropriate; and she, tho beautiful, the almost unearthly, seemed, by intention, to understand my thoughts and intentions, as with head bent down she gazed earnestly (and with a slight blush tqion Uie fair checks around which her auburn curls were playing,) upon a moss rose which she was earnestly engiiged in pulling to pieces.

An huur s walk across my chamber served, how ever, to calm my spirits ; and with a composure that seemed really supernatural, compared with my recent agitation, I sat down and wrote: "Dear Isabella: lako pity on an unhappy youtii, who is too deeply in love wiUi you to utter two consecutive words in your presence. 1 am mis erable till I hear from vou."

Our Charter Election came off on Monday last, snd resulted most gloriously for Uio Whiir cause. The gnsmd was contested warmly on both aides. The Locos used Uieir utmost exertions to elect Uieir candidates, but all to no purpose ; Uiey could not stand the steady tire ot Uie indomitable Whigs loo sure Uieir aim, and to strong Uieir force, for the Locos to break Uieir ranks. They marched in solid phalanx to Uie polls and deposited tlicir ballots for men devoted to Uio interests of Uie City, of sound principles, and unwavering in Uio cause of virtue, morality, and Uio triumph of correct and liberal political doctrine; men opposed lo the Loco Foco, Agrarian, Fanny Wp'ht Bentonian principles ol Wilson Shannon, the groat anti-bank reform cheat Uio-Manhattan-Uank-out-ot-lhree--UiouaandHlollara candidate for Governor, or any of the " mnller lighW Uiat seek to illumine Uie path of Loco i'oco Ihmix-mni here. We announce this cheering victory, that our Whig friends abroad may know tliat we are right hum Uiat wo are now, as eror, true to our cause and to our principles.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1842. THE FUND COMMISSIONERS-STATE STOCKS. " No wonder Stale Stocks are down, when the Fund Com missioners, immediately alter the adjournment of a Federal Legislature, resorted lo die miserable eiedient ftf borrowinE the credit of Suspended Hanks, and pledged a large amount of Ohio Hands, as security. 7Vie ilenweracy viash Uieir handt of this ilain upon tlte credit of Ohio, ana they are not willing now that the miieonduet of Gov. Corwin t Fund Commurionert thould be virited upon their thoutden." The above is an extract from the Ohio Statesman, under date of the loth inst In our article of yes terday, we replied, in passing, to the singular as- lumptions contained in Uie first sentence. It will bear further examination, but wo will first consider Uie second clause. It is easier for the Statesman to Bay Uiat the par ty for whom it speaks will wash its hands of the responsibility of the acts of Uie Fund Commissioners, than to do it The Statesman cannot by lb) mere ipse dixit take or grant absolution, in tiiiB way. From Uie flippancy and high tone of aU its articles respecting that Board, and the consequences of Uie action of tiie Board upon Uie public credit, Uiose people who are blessed with Bhort memories may imbibe Uie opinion Uiat Gov. Corwin really created the Com missioners, and can be made to stand Uio responsibility of every allegation that can be brought against Uiem. Is Uiis true ? By no means. Two of these Commissioners hold Uieir scats by virtue of Loco Foco Governor and Legislature. Gov. Shan non appointed one of Uiem, and. the Legislature, of 18119-40 Uie other. NeiUier Gov. Corwin nor tho Whiir p"r 0,0 hgomhu . !; "i-p-i-- - Where then is the propriety or justice of the Slates- man's imputations upon Gov. Corwin and Gov. Cor-win's Fund Commissioners ? One of Commissioners, Mr. Kelly, it is true, was ppointed by Gov. Corwin. But he is only the mi nority in the Board. Tho Commissioners who derived Uieir appointments from the Loco Focos, aro able to out vote him upon every proposition he makes. The public interest need not be made to suffer, because ho is in Uio Boa'd. Two aro moro Uian ono. How then can Uio Statesman say, wiUi tho slightest regard fortruth,tiiat Uio"Democracy will wash tlicir hands of the stain upon the credit of the Stato T It is impossible. The Statesman speaks of Uio misdeeds ot dov. Corwin'i Fund Commissioners. This is a base and unblushing falsehood, by implication, at least The Fund Commissioners did not dcrivo Uieir powers from Gov. Corwin that is, Uie majority did not Wc have explained Uiis already. But tiiore is another view of Uie cose. 1 ho States man and its friends havo Uie majority in both branches of tho Legislature. If Gov. Corwin'i Commissioner, Mr. Kelley, is unworthy of the public confi dence ; if he has abused his trust and misapplied his official powers ; if he has been instrumental in bringing a "stain upon the credit of Ohio," what apology will be rendered to the people for neglecting to make an example of him, and putting a more capablo and faithful officer in his place ? Will Uio Statesman answer us this question ? Why has ho not been removed ? Why is he permitted to occupy a position, where his official conduct is productive of so much mischief? In regard to the temporary loans made by Uio Fund Commissioners last season of the Banks, we think we are warranted in maintaining Uiat notwithstanding Uie clamours of the Statesman, the respon sibility taken by the hoard in making Uiem has been assumed by the Legislature, and that Legislature a Loco Foco one. If Uie Legislature did not mean to approve of Uiem, why did Uiey not make their dis approbation known by changing Uio board ? The board is amenable to Uio legislature tor its conduct, and it is Uie duty of the Legislature to visit a viola tion of duty wiUi some signal manifestation of its dis pleasure. In regard to Mr. Kelley, it cannot bo said Uiat political favoritism can have operated to screen him from any punishment which he had justly incurrru. w uy, ho bdui, wu uv piumpuj removed if the Legislature did not confide in bis judgment and integrity. But we find tins article growing too long upon our hands. The two points which wo wish to msrk fo- ilay, and which wo cannot fail of impressing upon tho minds of all who tako any interest in Uiis sub ject, are, 1st: Tho fact Uiat two, or a majority of Uio Fund Commissioners, are of Loco Foco appointment; nnd 2d : That the Loco Foco Legislature which has just adjourned, bnve manifested their entire confi- ilenco in the hole board, and approved of all Us measures for a year past, by continuing the incum bents in office, and refraining from passing censure upon their conduct Under these circumstances, wo submit to tho public how far the Statesman is war ranted ill washing its hands and those of its political friends of the stain which has como upon the credit of the State and wilh what respect for decency and truth it can charge Uie alleged faults of Uie Board upon Gov. Corwin! RFMOVAUS FROM OFFICE CONVICTION WITHOUT REPENTANCE A BRIGHT VISION RECEDING FROM VIEW. Another change has come over Uie powers Uiat be at Washington. The Madisonisn is clamoring with lungs, if not a face, of brass, for removals from office. It is impatient to put Uie guillotine in motion. Its sentiments are ours exactly. They were Uioee of Uie Whig party a year ago. The wholo country were for the dismission of every rascal who had used his official influence to control Uie elections and thwart Uie will of Uio people. But no Capt Tyler had a conscience as tender as a raw beef steak. He had his scruples. He could not think of making an indiscriminate proscription of Uie office holders for mere opinion's sake. Why should not a man in tho public eervico be allowed the independ ent exercise of his judgment, as well as he who only tilled a private station. All the efforts and invoca tions of those who had laboured to mako him what ho is, fur a participation in Uie fruits of a common triumph, were repulsed witii cold disdain. The truth is, the Captain was just at Uiat moment frying another kctUo of fish. Ho was big with tho scheme of forming a third party out of the prolligalo and un principled "floating scum," attached lo Uie other two, and he expected that Uiose who were already in of lice would be but too happy to enlist under his ban ner. Strange as it may appear, Uiat bait has not ta ken yory well. Even Uie Loco Focos, dearly as Uiey lovo office, fight rathor shy. They aro indeed willing enough to sit at Uio King's gale, and to cat at his table, but Uiey make no pledges of fealty for the future. In Uie mean-time Van Huron is taking Uio field, snd throwing out Uie signals to his former com panions In arms, to rally anew for Uio recovery of power lost and honors forfeited, to contend again lor Uie Indrpvntient Treasury, and for Uio undivided possession of tho spoils. The summons doos not pass unheeded. Captain Tyler now perceives Uie extent of his error. And he gives expression to the feelings of his heart through his Organ at Washington. Hear him! "It is our deliberate conviction, that, while the Pre sident is tasking his energies by the light of the oarly dawn, and Uio fitful ray of Uie midnight taper, to devise remedies for Uio ills of a suffering people, and meaaiirea to restore tho wonted prosperty of Uie country ; it is a duty to himself to tho country whoso destinies, in a great measure, are confided to his keeping by Uie Constitution to HUKL r ROM OFFICE, WITHOUT DELAY, THOSE MISCREANTS WHO DESECRATE THEIR PLACES to titertiK a eeiinie rarfmg influence against the means adopted by him to tniurt the peace and treffare f the nnfion. ilo has open enemies enough, God knows. But it is foe mwh to see around him in Uie Capitol, nrrv, almost of his household, n band of iini diout fort, who, under the guise of friendship omit no opportunity, (when Uio least concealment ftvors Uiem) to thwart, distract and oppose his best designs." s Dnt tlie mist is clearing iwsv. Concurring friends will now bo cosily distinguished from secret opposing enemies. IT IS IN VAIN THAT ACTIVE MALICIOUS FOES SHOULD BE RETAINED IN OFFICE. We are opposed to proscription for opinion's sake; but in the innumerable instances where it is apparent that hostile acts have been committed, it is a solemnand imperative duty on the part of Uio President, to dismiss the exit doersfrom ajfce." There what can be more sensible, and moro to the purpose, than that? Had the President recognised Uiese principles and Uiey are as immutable as the laws of matter ten months ago, and acted in concert witii his friends in enforcing them and others with which Uiey were identified, how different might have been his own situation, Uiat of the Whig party, and of the country, at this moment But he listened to evil counsellors, and missed Uio golden occasion of weaving a chaplet for his browB, that would have flourished in unfading verdure through all future lime. The Executive now acknowledges his fault He threatens through his official monitor to rectify it But we are fearful tliat his is " the remorso that comes too fate." We are hardly warranted in expecting tliat these glimmerings of returning reason can be attended by any well digested measures for a rc-union of the Whig party, and Uie restoration to its councils of Uie men who are alone qualified to conduct an administration with honor and advantage to the country, and to reflect Uiat credit and renown upon the head of Uio government, which Uie confidence and support of Uie nation onoht of right i "- Wo suppose it is too late, even to dream of such things. Oh I what a splendid, what a magnificent opportunity has been tiirown away I MERE BRAGGADOCIA. Those of our friends who are in Uie habit of peep ing into Uie Old School Republican, have duubtless noticed Uie marvellous accounts of Uie general rising among the people in favor of Capt Tyler, as reported fur Uiat verac ious paper. So confident and particular have been Uio accounts of this character, Uiat they havo tended to deceive for Uie moment, " even tho very elect" Among the rest, Uio intelligence from Sandusky county was very flattering to the Tyler cause, and it even seemed to be doubtful whether Uie Administration party were not about to swallow up all other parties, including tho Abolitionists. But it turns out Uiat all tins was mere braggadocia. Out of Franklin county, there is not the shadow of a Tyler party in the State. Wo conversed with numbers of Uio delegates to the State convention, on the subject, several of whom assured us that Uiey knew of no such tiling as a Tyler man in Uieir respective counties, whilst otiicrs were acquainted with but one, two or three in theirs. Ill reply to all the pretensions of the Old School Republican, on the subject, as respects Sandusky co., the Lower Sandusky Whig, says that he knows of but (ire Tyler men in Uiat county. If there are any Tyler men in Uie State, they come from Uie Wo Focos as well as Uio Whigs, and if they would nominate a candidate for Governor he will fake more votes from tliat side than from ours. In this county thorn are a few Tyler men who aro not Millor men, and who will support Gov.Cuawi.i'i re-election cordially. Wo annex Die following from the Hillsborough (Highland cc) News, showing the feeble efforts of the Old School Republican to practise a deception upon the community. After this exposure let them who lind pleasure in "being cheated, put their faith in the family organ. From the Hillsborough News. TYLERISM.

Hillsboro, Ohio,Fcb.21, 1841 Dear Fbienos : 1 intended by this mail to have communicated to you the signs of the times in Uiis county ; but as the mail will close before I can do so, t will only remark tor Uie present Uiat 1 am much pleased with the course pursued by, snd the doctrines contained in the Old School Republican. It is high time the people were looking to Mttr own interest and attending to their own business; they have too long confided in the professions of hollow-hearted politicians. Wo have been promised reform, for tho last twelve years by thecontendiiig parties; but how hsvc their promises been fulfilled? we have been reformed from bad to worse by each party, as they happened to succeed to power. Now, sirs, you ap-ieur lo bo aiming at real reform, and aro advocating thoso measures tliat will bring relief to the people, and restore Uie government to its origins) purity ; some of us here, in old Highland, have resolved to go in for "Tyler too." I havo only timo to remark further, the piMiplc here are thinking for themselves ; this is clearly manifested in the meagre assemblage of tho ultra Whigs, at Uieir late convention here for appointing delegates to tho 22 Convention. An effort was mailo at a rally, but it was no go ; Uie peo-plo were scarcely conscious of tbe meeting, so little nutico did Uiey take of it Yon will observe, as another sign of Uio times, that r.ot more Uian one or two of the delegates from Uiis county attended Uie Convention -in the 22d. I feel like promising a much better delegation from Highland on the 13th of April. You shall -hear from na again when more at leisure. Yours respectfully,' KAPPA. If tho above does not mako every intelligent gentleman who reads it in Highland, laugh at Uiis effort to "got up and manufacture" public opinion, and feel chagrined at Uio utter deception of the writer, we are greatly mistaken. We havo been five yeara, lacking a few days, a resident of Uiis county, and our business has made us necessarily acquainted with many of its citizens, and wo know and have learned of but barely hro Tyler men in Highland, and ono of those may bo said lo be a semi-Tylerite, going in for Die Exchequer as an only alternative. There swy hp more, but if so, they are hard to find. 8 .-prioso the writor of the abovo call a meeting in Highland lo appoint delegate! to the Tyler Convention on the i;tUi of April? A meeting of Uie kind would test tho Tyler strength hero. But no; that will not be done wo opine; that would exposo Uio farco; it would not bo a drop in the bucket compared to the "ultra Whig" Convention here, "meagre" though it is said to havo boon. And in reference to the "om or two" delegate! Uiat attended the 22d Convention from this county, we havo been Informed Uiat from one township alone in this county Paint SEVEN ueii-gaitw atienuea tno md Convention! But who istliii Mr. "Kappa?" Wo cannot behove he is either of Uie two rontlemcn we have re ferred to. And can Uiere be any extenuation or apology for the attempted deception. We would liko to see it if there is. Wa would freely givo it piaco in our columns. 1 ho editors of Uie O. 8. Republican say: "We thank our llillshnmuoh rnrrcsnnndent for his favor.

"Tell him he is a puppy." "Well, but. Sire, he is a puppy that is sincerely inclined to lullow his master." "Ay," retorted the King, "ate you sure of that ?" "Perfectly so, sir."

THE CALEDONIA BAFBI By the mail yesterday from Uie East, we received Uie gratifying intelligence of Uie safety of the Caledonia. Tlie steam ship Acadia, arrived at Halifax, brings Uie intelligence twenty six days later, of a highly interesting and important character. The Acadia did not leave Halifax, but the intelligence was brought to Boston by the Unicorn, and to New York by Uie Clyde. We make up our accounts from the different Now York papers of Saturday. France has refused to join tlie alliance against the slave trade. There aro later accounts from China, confirming and giving the particulars of the re-capture of Chu-san and the capture of Ningpo by tho British forces. It will he seen, in Uie parliamentary proceedings, Uiat the British Government has ordered Uie mutineers of Uie Creolo to be set at liberty I and that power to surrender thorn for trial and punishment ii denied.

He was of opinion that even for the mere purposes ot good neighborhood there ought to be a law ainonot nations rrivinir the power to each of surrendering criminals seeking refugo after condemnation in other countries. There was, however, no such law in oxistence, and no power on tlie part of this country to comply with any such demand. The hart of Aberdeen said that some communications had taken place upon Uiis subject with Uie Government of America, but he hoped tlie noble Lord would not press for them, if he informed him of the course which Uie Government intended to pursue. Alter receiving sit uie legal assistance Uiey deemed requisite Uio Government was satisfied by Uie law of this country, Uiere was no authority to bring the persons who nao escaped In the Creole to trial tor mutiny or murder, or even to detain them in custody. Instructions had accordingly been sent out for Uie r liberation, unless it should appear that there was si v colonial law under which they could be brought to trial, no was not, nowever, aware 01 the existem.6 of any such law. Lord Denman said he believed that the whole of Westminster Hall was unanimous that Uie law of England furnishes uo means of delivering up Uie persons who had escaped in the Creole. The noble Lord quoted the opinions of Lord Coko, and in latter yeara of Sir C. Wetherell, to the same effect, and said that it would be indeed desirable if there Vera an international law giving a power to surrender criminals ; but such a Taw could only rest upon Uie presumption that tho laws of all nations were reasonable, and lie feared Uie nefarious traffic in slave! would stand very much in the way of any auch ar rangement. Lord Campbell said he should not have spoken on Uie subject but Uiat an opinion had been attributed to him contrary to Uiat just expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, which opinion he had never given. He was of opinion Uiat Uie American Government had no power to demand tliat those men should be given up, and Uiat if such a demand were made, there was no power by the municipal law of England to . comply witii it Lord Cottenham and the Lord Chancellor s?avo similar opinions, and Lord Brougham said that the eanertew was likewise taken by Lord WynTord and Lord A bingcr. Lord Brougham Uien withdrew his motion, and uieir uorusmps irijournea. THE CALEDONIA SAFE!

As was-liopcfully believed by Uie most judicious, she did return in consequence of the terrible storra. The Clyde arrived at about 1 o'clock. Wo copy Uie followini which will be read with joy, from tlie Post's Exlrai ( Never did the peal of a cannon burst more gratefully on our oar, than when last evening it announced to us Uie arrival of a steam ship from England! waking thousands from their slumbers, and thrilling thousands of anxious hearts with the tidings that the missing steamer iuu escaped Uie lury of Uie mighty deep. A few minutes before midnight we heard guns pealing down Uie harbor, and soon after rockota were seen flying into Uie air from the neighborhood of George a Island. Crowds of persons flocked down to the wharves, and two steamers passed up, answering tin hailings from shore with "Acadia,'' "Unicom," and Tht Caledonia tafe in England!" and Uien arose a multitudinous shout from the wharves, as the gallant steamers passed up to Uio lunard Wharf, where an immense throng greeted Uiem with enthusiastio cheers. The following account of till Caledonia'! return is from an English paper t RETURN OF THE CALEDONIA. The Caledonia left Liverpool on the 4th of February with the mails snd a large number of passengers. She had a fair wind and walked the water admirably for the tiiree first daya, but on Uie 7th Uie wind chopped round and blew very hard from the westward.

The Statesman of Tuesday, in an article nn the ubject of Ohio Stocks, containing its usual disproportion of mucA falsehood with a littlt truth, renews its attempts to throw upon "Kelley St, Corwin," the blame of the present embarrassed condition of the State finances, and the depreciated price of State stocks. He says, "no womlor State Stocks are down, when the Fund Commissioners, immediately after the adjournment of a Federal Legislature, resorted to the miserable expedient of borrowing the credit of t-pended banks, and pledged a large amount of Ohio bonds as security." Tho Legislature thus stigmatized as "Federal" was the one before the last, in which his own party had a decided majority in one branch, and the Whigs an equally decided majority in the other. Which house overshadowed, and gave its complexion to the other, so as to the federalize (if we may use the word) the wholo? And on which docs he lay the charge of authorizing the Fund Commissioners to borrow money on the best terms practica ble on temporary loans, to pay the debts then duo contractors, and to carry on the public works, and to hypothecate stock to secure tho payment of such loan ? But one of these Fund Commissioners, whom tho Statesman stylos Gov. Concirit Fund Commissioner, holds his appointment from Gov. C, and this one was in favor of pursuing a course which would have cut off two thirds of the expenditures made on the pub lic works during the last season, and consequently would have avoided the necessity ot making a large portion of the temporary loans of which tho Statesman complains. Lot tho Statosman bear that fact in mind for the future. Again: Neither of the llanks from which the loans were obtained, immediately after the adjournment of the Legislature, (a yoar ago,) to wit, the Franklin Dank and the Chillicothe Bank, have offered for sale, nor in any way thrown upon the mar ket, one dollar of the stock hypothecated to secure those loans, as intimated in Die extract from the N, Y. Herald quoted by the Statesman. Nor is it probable that any of that stock will be offered for sale by either of these Banks. Both have proposed to tako thoir own notes in payment of tho instalments which will be due them in May. and it is not unlikely that the grcator part, if not all of tlicso payments will be made in tlicir own notes. The Statesman is not less in fault in regard to the amount "sorrowed from the Trust Company's Agent, in Now York, to pay the last January interest" The amount advanced by that company in Now York, to aid in the payment of interest was, as we are inform. ed, about (75,000. To secure the paymont of this amount, and also of temporary loans obtained from other institutions during last summer, fall, and winter, stock was pledged agreeably to the law of the 2Hh of March, 18-1 1. Besides paying the January intorest, tlieso loans have beon reduced, we under stand from good authority, to little more than ono third of tlicir original amount Does the Statesman mean to be understood as condemning the Fund Com missioners for borrowing money in New York, to supply the deficiency in the interest fund, (which could be made available in New York to pay the in terest due in January last,) owing to the great diffi culty which then existed in converting Ohio funds into New York funds, and to the interest fund in Ohio having beon paid out on the public works, un der the expectation that it could be repaid by the avails of loans contracted for those works ? Would the Statesman, under Uieso circumstances of tempo rary embarrassment, have suffered the interest to re main unpaid and the State to be disgraced? And what in your opinion, Mr. Statesman, would have been the market value of Ohio Stocks at this time, if the January interest had remained unpaid ? The Statesman asks whether the bonds hypothecated with the agent of the Treat Co. are not now in market n! my frice t It is gnnerally understood that where stocks, or any other property, are hypothecated to secure the payment of a debt, tho creditor has au thority to sell in a cue of failure to make payment This wo understand to bo tho object and meaning of "hypothecation." And such is the fact wo premium in this case. But we are informed that arrangements have been made, or are now making, which will probably prevent a further sale of slate stocks at tho present reduced prices. The leto period to which the action of the Legislature upon the subject of the Btato debts was postponed, necessarily deferred tho arrangements in contemplation by the Fund Commissioners, to prevent a sacrifice of some part of Uie stock hypothecated to secure temporary loans. Tho uncertainty which hung over tho character of the legislature on this subject whether or not a stop would be put to the increase of the public debt and whether or not tho means would be put in the hsnds of the Commissioners to discharge the temporary liabilities of tho Stato and provide for the punctual pay ment of the interest in future, had the clfcct to delay the restoration of that confidence in the ability and disposition to meet her engagements, which prompt and efficient legislation on tho subject would have inspired at least to a considerable extent Thus much we have deemed it necessary to say by way of explanation to the public, in reply to tho interrogatories and insinuations of tho Statesman, but it by no means concludes our private account with the editor of that print His impertinence in slip ring up the subject at all, for tho purpoao uf throw ing suspicion or blame upon Gov. Corwin shall not pass further without attention. If in prosecuting our enquiries into the proceedings of the Board of Fund Commissioners, we shall "carry the war into Africa," the Statesman and its friends may have themselvos to thank for tho issue. ANOTHER RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION. Mr. Wise has submitted a proposition lo Congress to do its own printing. He suggests the erection of a plain, substantial brick building, not to cost seer 110,000, to contain steam presses, types and apparatus, not to exceed in cost fcV),000, and to appoint a public printer at asalary of $1,500, who should have the immediato management of the establishment, un der Die general superintendence of the Vice Presi dent, Heads of Department itc tie. In order to carry out this notable scheme, we would suggest to Mr. Wise, that the government should employ Pcni- Umtiary convicts, or purchase up Uie necessary forco in Uie slavo markets at Uie South, to perform Uie la bor. It is always advisable to be consistent and thorough in measures of reform. THE MORALS OK LOCO KOCOISM. The Globe is out against Uio cause of univer sal education. It saysi "Our schools, generally, are in Uie hands of men who inculcate principles at war with Uie genius ot our government." Ate- Nulty, in moving a proposition in our Stale Legiali tore, to abolish Uie common school system, was only anticipating Uio loading Loco Foco press of Uie Union, Education qualiliee young men to detect Uie fallacies of Uie Loco Foco system of politics, and, so fsr, is "at war" with what Uie Globe interprets as the "gonitis of tho government" Knowledge being attended by such results, Uie Globe's remedy would be to keep mankind in ignorance and govern Uiein through the passions and prejudices which are ever found in the company of ignorance. The Illinois State Register, the leading loco Foco journal in Uwt Bute, attacks Uie Temperance cause. It is not easy to conceive uie motive tor aucn a feeling of dislike, unless an apprehension exist that the reform sought for is calculated to impair the strength of the party at Uie polls. Such doubtless will be its tendency. , And yet the Register would sustain a system of party politics which involved the continuance of all the horrors which Intemperance has brought into the world. Thank heaven, we belong to no such party. On the contrary we say, speed the cause of Temperance and Common Schools I The system of politics that will not bear the investi gation of Knowledge, aided by sober Reason, cannot be too quickly discarded. BRIDGE BURNT. The Bridge over the East Fork of the Miami, at Batavia, Clermont co. was destroyed by fire, on Wednesday night of lost week. The Courier pub lished at that place, says that the Bridge was built in 1834, and cost the county five thousand dollars. How the fire originated, whether from accident, design or lightning, is unknown. A very extraordinary circumstance attended Una fire, if we are to credit literally an account of the same furnished by a correspondent of the Statesman. He says that when the inhabitants were aroused by the alarm, "tho first thing that met their sight was one sheet of flame embracing the whole village." They could hear the cry of fire, but in consequence of the " darkness, and fright," could not tell where it was. The writer could hardly have got over his " fright," when he wrote his account THE EXCHEQUER SCHEME. We have not interested ourselves greatly on Uie subject of Uie Exccequer projects which have been successively submitted to Congress, and the country, in general terms by the President and his Secretary of Uie Treasury, and more in detail by Messrs. Gush ing and Talhnadgc, because we have not believed for a moment that there was Uie slightest danger of their being adopted. No action has been had upon the matter in either House, since tho reports of the Select Committees through the gentleman lost above named ; but Uicre has been time for an interchango of opinions, and from what wo hear Uiero is not much reason to apprehend that wo havo judged amiss. In proof, and to communicate to our readers Uio views which prevail elsewhere, we copy Uio following paragraphs from papers which have como to us in Uie same mail : From the Washington r orroipondence of die N. Y. American. The nrosDccts of the Exchequer scheme prow worse daily. Testimonials against Uiein multiply from all parts of the country, and the only voices raised in favor of Uiem como from persons of peculiar interests and occupatious in Now York city, and in some of Uio cities and manufucturing towns of New England. Testimonials of this sort, however, will not weigh much with tho Whig Representatives of Uio Agricultural sections. They are particularly suspicious of any plan which is adapted to firomote Uio views of capitalists of Uio East. Some ligh authorities, however, in Boston, New York and llaltiniorc, nave como out against uio ftxencquer Boards, and many from all parts of Uie country aro loudly declaring Uio necessity of a great complete system of measures on the old republican plan of finance, which governed Uio country from 1700 to ItVHI. No scheme will be adopted Una session, but Uio subject will be opened and the way will Be prepared lor Uie final trial ot Uie grand question and uio only alternative a return to tho sub-Treasury or a great National Bank. Tho whole West is ready for this contest, snd neither party will listen to any tonus of accommodation. X lie worui and tMi may taKe Uieir ground as soon as they please ; but it mttif be on either Uio undisguised sub-Treasury, or Uie full-blooded National Uank. With thesub-Treasury shall triumph also, Free Trade, Repudiation, Hurd Money, Low Wages, Direct Taxation, and every Loco Foco abomination of desolation. With tho Bank alone can you have from Western votes, a Tariir of Protection or any other Whig measure; and it is only with it that you csn retain Uio Bankrupt Law, or Uie Distribution Act From the Washington Correspondence of the V. 9. (Pliila.) Mr.Tnllmadire'a Exchequer Plan will betaken up for consideration in the Senate on Momlny next For one, I have no expectation Uiat any Exchequer Bill will pass this session. I do not know but his plan might be belter for the country Uian nothing; but it is not Uie measure that is to cure the manifold evils under which the people aro writhing and groaning. The discaso of the country is beyond Uio reach of a tea spoonlul ot Godlrcy a Cordial, or five dm ot Paregoric; it requiresa bold physician and powerful remedies. Let Uie people now ponder on theso things. Ict them go on in Uieir madness, pulling down and destroying, and see how much better they make Uieir own condition thereby, while Uiey are making beggars of Uiuusanda of Uio most industrious, enterprising, prudent and upright citizens. Let them exult as tho fabrics, renrcd by the industry and enterprise of tho country fall into ruins around 'Uiem; and when all shall bo one extensive mass of ruins, lot them look around upon Uieir work, and ask tiicin-sclvca what is now to become of it ? NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. We do not think Uie Statesman will raiso a very loud shout over Uie result of the election in New Hampshire. The returns from S. tow ns show that "general apathy, who has done Uie whigs so much mischief, is besettingUie Loco Focos. Thus far Uie vote stands fur Hubbard, federal, 5'AVJ, Stcvons, whig, '-.!, White, conservative, 1718. The Federal candidate has probably been elected, but the majority will be something less than last year. A more en- orgetic effort on tho part of the Whigs, would have overthrown the Loco Focos entirely. The N. Y. Express has Uie following details, as far as heard from. Barton, " Radical " toco FoeocandidatofnrCoun-sellor is probably defeated. In Concord, Jenness, "Conservative," received about tkJO votes, and Barton iiOO. The towns of Portsmouth, Newcastle, Hampton, Greenland and Nowmarkct givo Jenness Ml, Barton, 'til, Branscomb, (Whig) '.fill In Concord no choice wss effected fur representa tives, in Pittstlclil, Norris, Radical, and Speaker of trie last House ot Representatives, has been beaten by Knowlton, Conservative, the Whigs uniting with them and voting for hurt, This is a sad blow to Ute Radical party, as Norris was one of Uieir groat guns. Canterbury has also elected a Conservative. Whig representatives were chosen in Dover and Manchester. Portsmouth has chosen four Conservatives. The long unbroken phalsnx of New Hampshire Loco Focoisin seems at length shaken to its centre and wo shall watch with some curiosity Uie results of the lamily quarrel. A MOVE OF THE RIGHT KIND. The people of Guernsey county have set an example worthy of imitation. They are not content with talking in favor of a Tariff but are ready load. We find Uie following notice in the Timet, published at Cambridge, and hope it is Uie beginning of a se ries of movements of Uie same-character, which will extend Uiroughout Uie Slate. ' Till Tiairr. This subject having again becomo a gcnernl topic ot discussion, the public mind in all parts of our country being almost totally divorted IVom every other political subject, and fixed principally upon tins and Ohio having a deep interest in the subject as deep an interest perhaps as any ,Hher Stale, of proportionate extent of territory and popu lation, ought it is thought to be among Uio first to speak out ill the agitation nl this question. An ex- Eression of the public will in this State ought to ho ad on this subject Public meetings, it is tiiought, ought to be called, and the subject publicly discussed. A irenemJ meeting- for that purpose will therefore be held in Uie town of Washington, on Saturday Uie l!Ho inst., at roc iocs r. ju. A general attendance of the cttixons of Guernsey county, of all parties, is respectfully solicited. March lit, ltH MANY CITIZEN KJ" We clip Uie following from Uie N. Y. Tribune. Loco Foeoism seems to be of a piece Uie world over. The Loco Focos of Misaiasirrt are nutlinir in their objections to Uie nomination recently made for them at Jackson by a few of their loaders of Van Huron snd Johnson for President snd Vice. One of their papers the Dollar Democrat gives, among omrr cogr-m reasons, uie following sgainsi una lore-stalling nomination t We may all of w k frying in i7 before 7yr'i time is em. Rather a shrewd guess for an AnU-Bonder. THE RIVER, WEATHER, etc. The heavy rains for two or three weeks past have filled Uie Ohio up to the brim. The water at Ctn- cinnaU is higher titan it hos been before in three years, and Uie swell above is still very heavy. For five or six days we have had no rain. During Uie most of Uie Ume we have had a dry north west breeze, and frosty nights. The effect upon Uie health of Uie community has been in the highest degree favorable. The wind is now southerly again, and the air is dclighfully like spring. RETRENCHMENT. The whigs are engaged in Uie House of Repre sentatives at Washington, in Uie work of retrenching unnecessary expenditures. They encounter Uie opposition both of Uie Loco Focos and Uie Tyler squad notwithstanding Uie Bankruptcy of Uie Treasury, und Capt Tyler's earnest calls for more money. From the N. Y. Tribune. THE TARIFF REVISION. There Is hanllv mom for difference on this nnint that the Tariff of Duties on Imports must be revised at the present session of Congress. The Revenue is notoriously, glaringly inadequate. 1 he last Ad-ininistraUon expended Fifteen Millions of Dollars which had been accumulated under a higher Tariff oy uie preceding, and ran in dcbtseveral Millions by issuing Treasury Notes. The Expenditures during Mr. Van Huron's four years exceeded the nett Re ceipts of those yeors by more than Twenty Millions of Dollars. The present Administration commenced with no surplus, but a pressing Debt instead, while the Tariff, greatly diminished during Mr. Van Buren's four years, was still in process of reduction, and ib to be filially reduced very much on tho 1st of July next It Slirclv cannot be nrctnnilod with nnv show of rea son or fairness that Uie Government can bo efficiently conducted upon Uie Revenue arising under Uie present Tariff, as it will stand afler that reduction. As to the alternative of continuing Mr. Van Buren's borrowing, shinning, Treasury Note device, we find no open though iiiiiuy virtual supporters of tliat. At any rate, wo trust those who are so greatly shocked at the idea of a National Debt, and who are perpetually quoting Mr. Jefferson's deprecation thereof, will not insist on continuinp- in practice what Uiev so violently denounce in tho abstract. The Govern ment has been disgraced and crippled by this shinning policy long enough. Lot us have an end of it forthwith ; and wc can have it only by raising more Rev enue. How sliull wc do this There are some half dozen journals who talk occasionally over Uie shoulder in tuvor oi uirecl J iuatwn, hut Uiey are not half in oarnest Tho enormous cost, the meagre proceeds, of that kind of taxation were abundantly tested du ring uie Last w ar. nut then, there was an abundance of money in circulation, and he who had any ug to sen couiu reauuy imy ins taxes, now uiere e whole counties in which a Uiousand dollars of oar money for taxes could not bo raised without constraining sacrifices of property to tiiree times the value. With warehouses full of Pork and Grain, Uiey are hardly able to pay Uieir State Tuxes, snd, if Uie Federal Government were to lny more, Uiey could wiUi great difficulty be collected. But says Loco-Focoism, You must restore to 'Uie Treasury Uie Public Land Proceeds, which 'you havo apportioned to the States.' Well, suppose this were dune; how much would it add to Uie Revenue? Less than amillion dollars last year; a littlo mure or less tins. This is but a drop in the bucket and so it will remain while our Agricultural Products remain at Free Trade, Sub-Treasury prices. Who will buy Public Lands to any extent, when the Produce Uiat may be raised tiieroon will not pay for carrying to market, and when it can bo occupied without paying for it? It needs Protection and a National Currency to make the Land tcorth buying. We have of course a aeepor oojcc.uon uian uus to wis recourse wo are inflexibly hostile to any application of Uio Land Proceeds to lite ordinary purposes of Government It is a Uiriflluss, shortsighted, squandering policy just like that of Uie profligate heir who sells Uie timber off his ostato to meet his daily expenses. But it is enough for the present purpose that successive Presidents and Secretaries of Uio Treasury have declared Uio Iind Proceeds too precarious and fluctuating lo be relied on as a means of meeting Uie Annual Expenditures of the Government Wo come back at last to Uie only nroner and ade quate resource hiaher duties on Imunrta. These must nianitestly be laid, un wtiul principle Hori zontal or Discriminating ? Phis has been settled by tho votes of Me We Trailers themselves. At Uie last or Extra Session, they resisted to Uie utmost and suc cessfully the imposition of duties on Tea, Coffee, cVc. on Uie distinctly avowed ground Uiat these, being ar ticles of general neccssitv, not produced in tiiis country, ought to be aitmlited fret. The inevitable converse of this proposition is that other articles must bo subjected to higher duties Uisn they would otherwise pay. Tho vote on Tea and Coffee established the princinlo of Discrimination beyond a cavil, and Uio r reo 1 raucrs voted en masse to exempt Salt and several other necessaries in liko manner. They are tiiercforo estopped by tlicir own repeated acts from ny opposition to Discriminating Duties. But moro than all, the Co.ioiTioxorTiir. Coirs- try calls loudly tor the judicious increase ot Uie 1 a- nlf. Our currency is bruken down and vitiated ; our Produce is selling at rates ruinously low for tho pro ducer; snd in many seeUons of tho country money can hardly bo obtained for it at any rale, 'l'lte land is lull ol provisions which cannot bo sold, and lor want ol which those who mako our llouiing are tarnishing. This is partly caused by the grasping poli cy of Great Britain, but its occasional recurrence is inseparable from a system ot exchanging 1'rovisioi s for Cloths with a Nation four thousand miles off. Such a trade must always be insecure and fluctuating; and if tolerably steady, the cost of transporting the Provisions oats up their value and leaves Uie produ- duccrs dependant and beggarly. It is a monstrous disregard of Uie plainest dictates of Economy to send flour from Chicago and Cincinnati to Leeds for Clot lis and Sheffield for Cutlery, when tho same manufactu rers could pmduco just as much cloth and cutlery at Pittsburgh and Peoria, and thereby save to themselves and our fanners Uio enormous cost of sending Uio uour ana i out irotn inuiana to r.ngianu. it is, ii must be our true policy, to invite hither Uie manufacturers rather than Uio goods. The Country could pay to-morrow lor h illy Millions' worth ot Manutac lures to producers on our own soil easier Uian ii can nay for Twenty Millions' worth brought from Great Britain. Yet every duy is crowding our ports with new cargoes of costly goods, poured in by foreign manufactures, consigned to foreign agents, and rattled off at auction on foreign account Every fresh load takes away more coin from the country and forces the Banks to contract tho Currency, whilo it cheapens tho goods and produco held by our merchants ami hurries thorn on to bankruptcy. There are now millions' worth of goods in this City which cannot Uiis yoar bo sold to consumers at any price tor want ol means; there are millions worth ot Produce in our store-houses in liko condition, and hold ers are giving way on every side. New Orleanssits desolate as at tho height of a pestilence ; Pittsburgh (says our correspondence) was never so paralyzed and gloomy as now. From all sides, the cry of distress reaches us Labor seeking employment Produce falling, debts pressing, and Uie Currency depreciated and useless. Protectio.-. to Home Ikpi'strt is the cure for this sggregation of evils, and it cannot oe too quicaiy or citicicntly afforded. Bakiri'pt Law. The question of tho constitu linnalily of the Bnnkrupt Law was raised in New York on the 1st March, before Judgo Belts of the United States District Court, and was to be argued a few days thereafter. This just and righteous measure of relief to suffering tiiousands, has a more determined opposition thnn any law that was ever before so loudly cslleil for by Uio people. Wo havo faith, however, that it will stand sgainst all at tacks out of Congress, as it did aiminst the most fu rious opposition within it and remain a monument to the wisdom of our National Legislature and an abiding evidence of Uie justice of our times.

It will not be deemed vanity at my age to say Uiat at twenty-five I was possessed of a full share of the ordinary personal charms of youth. Within a litUe of Uie Chestcrfieldiaa standard of height, five feet ten, with locks dark as Uie raven's wing, (alas I the driven snow is not whiter now,) wiUi fair complexion, and possessing what is generally conceived sufficient good sense and education for all Uie practical purposes of life, it may be thought Uiat my experience in matters of Uie heart ought to have proved an exception to Uio rule tint 'the course of true love never did run smooth.' But, alaB ! not so. It was my fortune to become acquainted with a young lady possessed of so many charms, mental, moral and personal, and sosupcreminent in each, Uiat it was indeed impossible tor me to avoid falling, as I did, desperately in love with her. As far as glances of the eye, and occasional inuon-does might go, I dout not Uiat I succeeded lull well in imparting to her a knowledge of Uie stato of my heart; and I will not presume upon your patience so much as to detail Die testacy of joy with which I first discovered, or fancied that I discovered, through similar media, a reciprocity of feeling on Uie part of Uie young lady. Lei it suffice to say that Uiis was Uie case, and Uiat Uie jime came when it was incumbent upon me to mako a distinct avowal. This,atler long and perplexing ilental debate, I resolved to do by letter ; and alter writing some forty epistles on as many sheets of gildeqsatin paper, I finally succeeded in forming a Tetter.tf about six lines, containing, as I thought, Uie condensed quintessence of every Uiing Uiat could or outiit to be said on Uie subject Of Uiis precious morcanj, I retain now but slight recollection. That it abouided with terms expressive of pure, ardent, warm, glowing, undying, everlasting, and unprecedented affection, I havo not the least doubt But unfortunately, tliu little sicciincn of epistolary excellence was scu-ccly finished, when chancing to peruse some of tiis experience of a pre decessor in the patlis of lore, I reud that notiiing was more unwiso or dangerous, Uian making an offer of one's hand and heart oy tieaus of pen and paper. With the credulity ot asimple mind, 1 at once gave implicit credence to tils doctrine, and frightened at tho fearful precipice which I had so narrowly avoided, I immediately destoyed niy letter, and resolved to declure myself in person, with my ownlips ami voice, aim to near wiuiiny own ears uie reply which was lo seui my uestiry. Never did an Alexander, a Wallace, or a Napo leon, feel the inspiring effects of a heroic resolution more powerfully than I felt jie influcnco of this. I had resolved I would execute ! 1 walked Uie streets with a proud conscioulness cf the heroism of my re solution ; and in Ute height of my pride, fairly feared leBt in Uie words of the poetl should strike lie stars with my lofty head. But sessible of Uio imperfec tions ot human powers, and conscious that mine in particular were liable to tail in so delicate an emergency, I resolved at lost to comiiit to memory my declaratory speech. This undignified and foolish tiling I did. Instead of trusting to the wann outpouring of an ingenuous heart, which in some way at leust would huve menaced to make itself understood and felt, I committed to memory a cokl funnula of words, to bo delivered as the school boy recites his speech, of which it is sufficient for the purposes of Uus article to recollect tho following sentence! "Miss Adams, will you allow me to oiler you my hund and heart ? The fearful hour arrived.

FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1842. THE FUND COMMISSIONERS-STATE STOCKS. " No wonder Stale Stocks are down, when the Fund Com missioners, immediately alter the adjournment of a Federal Legislature, resorted lo die miserable eiedient ftf borrowinE the credit of Suspended Hanks, and pledged a large amount of Ohio Hands, as security. 7Vie ilenweracy viash Uieir handt of this ilain upon tlte credit of Ohio, ana they are not willing now that the miieonduet of Gov. Corwin t Fund Commurionert thould be virited upon their thoutden." The above is an extract from the Ohio Statesman, under date of the loth inst In our article of yes terday, we replied, in passing, to the singular as- lumptions contained in Uie first sentence. It will bear further examination, but wo will first consider Uie second clause. It is easier for the Statesman to Bay Uiat the par ty for whom it speaks will wash its hands of the responsibility of the acts of Uie Fund Commissioners, than to do it The Statesman cannot by lb) mere ipse dixit take or grant absolution, in tiiiB way. From Uie flippancy and high tone of aU its articles respecting that Board, and the consequences of Uie action of tiie Board upon Uie public credit, Uiose people who are blessed with Bhort memories may imbibe Uie opinion Uiat Gov. Corwin really created the Com missioners, and can be made to stand Uio responsibility of every allegation that can be brought against Uiem. Is Uiis true ? By no means. Two of these Commissioners hold Uieir scats by virtue of Loco Foco Governor and Legislature. Gov. Shan non appointed one of Uiem, and. the Legislature, of 18119-40 Uie other. NeiUier Gov. Corwin nor tho Whiir p"r 0,0 hgomhu . !; "i-p-i-- - Where then is the propriety or justice of the Slates- man's imputations upon Gov. Corwin and Gov. Cor-win's Fund Commissioners ? One of Commissioners, Mr. Kelly, it is true, was ppointed by Gov. Corwin. But he is only the mi nority in the Board. Tho Commissioners who derived Uieir appointments from the Loco Focos, aro able to out vote him upon every proposition he makes. The public interest need not be made to suffer, because ho is in Uio Boa'd. Two aro moro Uian ono. How then can Uio Statesman say, wiUi tho slightest regard fortruth,tiiat Uio"Democracy will wash tlicir hands of the stain upon the credit of the Stato T It is impossible. The Statesman speaks of Uio misdeeds ot dov. Corwin'i Fund Commissioners. This is a base and unblushing falsehood, by implication, at least The Fund Commissioners did not dcrivo Uieir powers from Gov. Corwin that is, Uie majority did not Wc have explained Uiis already. But tiiore is another view of Uie cose. 1 ho States man and its friends havo Uie majority in both branches of tho Legislature. If Gov. Corwin'i Commissioner, Mr. Kelley, is unworthy of the public confi dence ; if he has abused his trust and misapplied his official powers ; if he has been instrumental in bringing a "stain upon the credit of Ohio," what apology will be rendered to the people for neglecting to make an example of him, and putting a more capablo and faithful officer in his place ? Will Uio Statesman answer us this question ? Why has ho not been removed ? Why is he permitted to occupy a position, where his official conduct is productive of so much mischief? In regard to the temporary loans made by Uio Fund Commissioners last season of the Banks, we think we are warranted in maintaining Uiat notwithstanding Uie clamours of the Statesman, the respon sibility taken by the hoard in making Uiem has been assumed by the Legislature, and that Legislature a Loco Foco one. If Uie Legislature did not mean to approve of Uiem, why did Uiey not make their dis approbation known by changing Uio board ? The board is amenable to Uio legislature tor its conduct, and it is Uie duty of the Legislature to visit a viola tion of duty wiUi some signal manifestation of its dis pleasure. In regard to Mr. Kelley, it cannot bo said Uiat political favoritism can have operated to screen him from any punishment which he had justly incurrru. w uy, ho bdui, wu uv piumpuj removed if the Legislature did not confide in bis judgment and integrity. But we find tins article growing too long upon our hands. The two points which wo wish to msrk fo- ilay, and which wo cannot fail of impressing upon tho minds of all who tako any interest in Uiis sub ject, are, 1st: Tho fact Uiat two, or a majority of Uio Fund Commissioners, are of Loco Foco appointment; nnd 2d : That the Loco Foco Legislature which has just adjourned, bnve manifested their entire confi- ilenco in the hole board, and approved of all Us measures for a year past, by continuing the incum bents in office, and refraining from passing censure upon their conduct Under these circumstances, wo submit to tho public how far the Statesman is war ranted ill washing its hands and those of its political friends of the stain which has como upon the credit of the State and wilh what respect for decency and truth it can charge Uie alleged faults of Uie Board upon Gov. Corwin! RFMOVAUS FROM OFFICE CONVICTION WITHOUT REPENTANCE A BRIGHT VISION RECEDING FROM VIEW. Another change has come over Uie powers Uiat be at Washington. The Madisonisn is clamoring with lungs, if not a face, of brass, for removals from office. It is impatient to put Uie guillotine in motion. Its sentiments are ours exactly. They were Uioee of Uie Whig party a year ago. The wholo country were for the dismission of every rascal who had used his official influence to control Uie elections and thwart Uie will of Uio people. But no Capt Tyler had a conscience as tender as a raw beef steak. He had his scruples. He could not think of making an indiscriminate proscription of Uie office holders for mere opinion's sake. Why should not a man in tho public eervico be allowed the independ ent exercise of his judgment, as well as he who only tilled a private station. All the efforts and invoca tions of those who had laboured to mako him what ho is, fur a participation in Uie fruits of a common triumph, were repulsed witii cold disdain. The truth is, the Captain was just at Uiat moment frying another kctUo of fish. Ho was big with tho scheme of forming a third party out of the prolligalo and un principled "floating scum," attached lo Uie other two, and he expected that Uiose who were already in of lice would be but too happy to enlist under his ban ner. Strange as it may appear, Uiat bait has not ta ken yory well. Even Uie Loco Focos, dearly as Uiey lovo office, fight rathor shy. They aro indeed willing enough to sit at Uio King's gale, and to cat at his table, but Uiey make no pledges of fealty for the future. In Uie mean-time Van Huron is taking Uio field, snd throwing out Uie signals to his former com panions In arms, to rally anew for Uio recovery of power lost and honors forfeited, to contend again lor Uie Indrpvntient Treasury, and for Uio undivided possession of tho spoils. The summons doos not pass unheeded. Captain Tyler now perceives Uie extent of his error. And he gives expression to the feelings of his heart through his Organ at Washington. Hear him! "It is our deliberate conviction, that, while the Pre sident is tasking his energies by the light of the oarly dawn, and Uio fitful ray of Uie midnight taper, to devise remedies for Uio ills of a suffering people, and meaaiirea to restore tho wonted prosperty of Uie country ; it is a duty to himself to tho country whoso destinies, in a great measure, are confided to his keeping by Uie Constitution to HUKL r ROM OFFICE, WITHOUT DELAY, THOSE MISCREANTS WHO DESECRATE THEIR PLACES to titertiK a eeiinie rarfmg influence against the means adopted by him to tniurt the peace and treffare f the nnfion. ilo has open enemies enough, God knows. But it is foe mwh to see around him in Uie Capitol, nrrv, almost of his household, n band of iini diout fort, who, under the guise of friendship omit no opportunity, (when Uio least concealment ftvors Uiem) to thwart, distract and oppose his best designs." s Dnt tlie mist is clearing iwsv. Concurring friends will now bo cosily distinguished from secret opposing enemies. IT IS IN VAIN THAT ACTIVE MALICIOUS FOES SHOULD BE RETAINED IN OFFICE. We are opposed to proscription for opinion's sake; but in the innumerable instances where it is apparent that hostile acts have been committed, it is a solemnand imperative duty on the part of Uio President, to dismiss the exit doersfrom ajfce." There what can be more sensible, and moro to the purpose, than that? Had the President recognised Uiese principles and Uiey are as immutable as the laws of matter ten months ago, and acted in concert witii his friends in enforcing them and others with which Uiey were identified, how different might have been his own situation, Uiat of the Whig party, and of the country, at this moment But he listened to evil counsellors, and missed Uio golden occasion of weaving a chaplet for his browB, that would have flourished in unfading verdure through all future lime. The Executive now acknowledges his fault He threatens through his official monitor to rectify it But we are fearful tliat his is " the remorso that comes too fate." We are hardly warranted in expecting tliat these glimmerings of returning reason can be attended by any well digested measures for a rc-union of the Whig party, and Uie restoration to its councils of Uie men who are alone qualified to conduct an administration with honor and advantage to the country, and to reflect Uiat credit and renown upon the head of Uio government, which Uie confidence and support of Uie nation onoht of right i "- Wo suppose it is too late, even to dream of such things. Oh I what a splendid, what a magnificent opportunity has been tiirown away I MERE BRAGGADOCIA. Those of our friends who are in Uie habit of peep ing into Uie Old School Republican, have duubtless noticed Uie marvellous accounts of Uie general rising among the people in favor of Capt Tyler, as reported fur Uiat verac ious paper. So confident and particular have been Uio accounts of this character, Uiat they havo tended to deceive for Uie moment, " even tho very elect" Among the rest, Uio intelligence from Sandusky county was very flattering to the Tyler cause, and it even seemed to be doubtful whether Uie Administration party were not about to swallow up all other parties, including tho Abolitionists. But it turns out Uiat all tins was mere braggadocia. Out of Franklin county, there is not the shadow of a Tyler party in the State. Wo conversed with numbers of Uio delegates to the State convention, on the subject, several of whom assured us that Uiey knew of no such tiling as a Tyler man in Uieir respective counties, whilst otiicrs were acquainted with but one, two or three in theirs. Ill reply to all the pretensions of the Old School Republican, on the subject, as respects Sandusky co., the Lower Sandusky Whig, says that he knows of but (ire Tyler men in Uiat county. If there are any Tyler men in Uie State, they come from Uie Wo Focos as well as Uio Whigs, and if they would nominate a candidate for Governor he will fake more votes from tliat side than from ours. In this county thorn are a few Tyler men who aro not Millor men, and who will support Gov.Cuawi.i'i re-election cordially. Wo annex Die following from the Hillsborough (Highland cc) News, showing the feeble efforts of the Old School Republican to practise a deception upon the community. After this exposure let them who lind pleasure in "being cheated, put their faith in the family organ. From the Hillsborough News. TYLERISM.

From the Old rJchool Republican. Hillsboro, Ohio,Fcb.21, 1841 Dear Fbienos : 1 intended by this mail to have communicated to you the signs of the times in Uiis county ; but as the mail will close before I can do so, t will only remark tor Uie present Uiat 1 am much pleased with the course pursued by, snd the doctrines contained in the Old School Republican. It is high time the people were looking to Mttr own interest and attending to their own business; they have too long confided in the professions of hollow-hearted politicians. Wo have been promised reform, for tho last twelve years by thecontendiiig parties; but how hsvc their promises been fulfilled? we have been reformed from bad to worse by each party, as they happened to succeed to power. Now, sirs, you ap-ieur lo bo aiming at real reform, and aro advocating thoso measures tliat will bring relief to the people, and restore Uie government to its origins) purity ; some of us here, in old Highland, have resolved to go in for "Tyler too." I havo only timo to remark further, the piMiplc here are thinking for themselves ; this is clearly manifested in the meagre assemblage of tho ultra Whigs, at Uieir late convention here for appointing delegates to tho 22 Convention. An effort was mailo at a rally, but it was no go ; Uie peo-plo were scarcely conscious of tbe meeting, so little nutico did Uiey take of it Yon will observe, as another sign of Uio times, that r.ot more Uian one or two of the delegates from Uiis county attended Uie Convention -in the 22d. I feel like promising a much better delegation from Highland on the 13th of April. You shall -hear from na again when more at leisure. Yours respectfully,' KAPPA. If tho above does not mako every intelligent gentleman who reads it in Highland, laugh at Uiis effort to "got up and manufacture" public opinion, and feel chagrined at Uio utter deception of the writer, we are greatly mistaken. We havo been five yeara, lacking a few days, a resident of Uiis county, and our business has made us necessarily acquainted with many of its citizens, and wo know and have learned of but barely hro Tyler men in Highland, and ono of those may bo said lo be a semi-Tylerite, going in for Die Exchequer as an only alternative. There swy hp more, but if so, they are hard to find. 8 .-prioso the writor of the abovo call a meeting in Highland lo appoint delegate! to the Tyler Convention on the i;tUi of April? A meeting of Uie kind would test tho Tyler strength hero. But no; that will not be done wo opine; that would exposo Uio farco; it would not bo a drop in the bucket compared to the "ultra Whig" Convention here, "meagre" though it is said to havo boon. And in reference to the "om or two" delegate! Uiat attended the 22d Convention from this county, we havo been Informed Uiat from one township alone in this county Paint SEVEN ueii-gaitw atienuea tno md Convention! But who istliii Mr. "Kappa?" Wo cannot behove he is either of Uie two rontlemcn we have re ferred to. And can Uiere be any extenuation or apology for the attempted deception. We would liko to see it if there is. Wa would freely givo it piaco in our columns. 1 ho editors of Uie O. 8. Republican say: "We thank our llillshnmuoh rnrrcsnnndent for his favor.

"Tell him he is a puppy." "Well, but. Sire, he is a puppy that is sincerely inclined to lullow his master." "Ay," retorted the King, "ate you sure of that ?" "Perfectly so, sir."

THE CALEDONIA BAFBI By the mail yesterday from Uie East, we received Uie gratifying intelligence of Uie safety of the Caledonia. Tlie steam ship Acadia, arrived at Halifax, brings Uie intelligence twenty six days later, of a highly interesting and important character. The Acadia did not leave Halifax, but the intelligence was brought to Boston by the Unicorn, and to New York by Uie Clyde. We make up our accounts from the different Now York papers of Saturday. France has refused to join tlie alliance against the slave trade. There aro later accounts from China, confirming and giving the particulars of the re-capture of Chu-san and the capture of Ningpo by tho British forces. It will he seen, in Uie parliamentary proceedings, Uiat the British Government has ordered Uie mutineers of Uie Creolo to be set at liberty I and that power to surrender thorn for trial and punishment ii denied. In tho course of the conversation on this subject in Uio Houso of Peers, Lord Denman laid that there had never occurred a case in which criminals taking refuge in England, or in English Dominions, had Been given up on Uie claim of a foreien Government Tho mysterious coffers left by Gustavus IIL, of Sweedcn. wilh injunctions not to open them until ' fifty years after his death, are to be opened and in spected with all due solemnity on the SOUi of April, Uie King having died on Uie itUih of April 17U2.

House of Lords, February 14th. Case of the Creole Lota Brougham, pursuant to notice, brought under the consideration of their Lordships tlie case of the Creole, by moving for copies of any correspondence upon Uie subject He had, he said, considered Uie subject sinco ho had first named the mat- was a confirmation of Uio opinion he had formerly given. He was of opinion that even for the mere purposes ot good neighborhood there ought to be a law ainonot nations rrivinir the power to each of surrendering criminals seeking refugo after condemnation in other countries. There was, however, no such law in oxistence, and no power on tlie part of this country to comply with any such demand. The hart of Aberdeen said that some communications had taken place upon Uiis subject with Uie Government of America, but he hoped tlie noble Lord would not press for them, if he informed him of the course which Uie Government intended to pursue. Alter receiving sit uie legal assistance Uiey deemed requisite Uio Government was satisfied by Uie law of this country, Uiere was no authority to bring the persons who nao escaped In the Creole to trial tor mutiny or murder, or even to detain them in custody. Instructions had accordingly been sent out for Uie r liberation, unless it should appear that there was si v colonial law under which they could be brought to trial, no was not, nowever, aware 01 the existem.6 of any such law. Lord Denman said he believed that the whole of Westminster Hall was unanimous that Uie law of England furnishes uo means of delivering up Uie persons who had escaped in the Creole. The noble Lord quoted the opinions of Lord Coko, and in latter yeara of Sir C. Wetherell, to the same effect, and said that it would be indeed desirable if there Vera an international law giving a power to surrender criminals ; but such a Taw could only rest upon Uie presumption that tho laws of all nations were reasonable, and lie feared Uie nefarious traffic in slave! would stand very much in the way of any auch ar rangement. Lord Campbell said he should not have spoken on Uie subject but Uiat an opinion had been attributed to him contrary to Uiat just expressed by the Lord Chief Justice, which opinion he had never given. He was of opinion Uiat Uie American Government had no power to demand tliat those men should be given up, and Uiat if such a demand were made, there was no power by the municipal law of England to . comply witii it Lord Cottenham and the Lord Chancellor s?avo similar opinions, and Lord Brougham said that the eanertew was likewise taken by Lord WynTord and Lord A bingcr. Lord Brougham Uien withdrew his motion, and uieir uorusmps irijournea. THE CALEDONIA SAFE!

As was-liopcfully believed by Uie most judicious, she did return in consequence of the terrible storra. The Clyde arrived at about 1 o'clock. Wo copy Uie followini which will be read with joy, from tlie Post's Exlrai ( Never did the peal of a cannon burst more gratefully on our oar, than when last evening it announced to us Uie arrival of a steam ship from England! waking thousands from their slumbers, and thrilling thousands of anxious hearts with the tidings that the missing steamer iuu escaped Uie lury of Uie mighty deep. A few minutes before midnight we heard guns pealing down Uie harbor, and soon after rockota were seen flying into Uie air from the neighborhood of George a Island. Crowds of persons flocked down to the wharves, and two steamers passed up, answering tin hailings from shore with "Acadia,'' "Unicom," and Tht Caledonia tafe in England!" and Uien arose a multitudinous shout from the wharves, as the gallant steamers passed up to Uio lunard Wharf, where an immense throng greeted Uiem with enthusiastio cheers. The following account of till Caledonia'! return is from an English paper t RETURN OF THE CALEDONIA. The Caledonia left Liverpool on the 4th of February with the mails snd a large number of passengers. She had a fair wind and walked the water admirably for the tiiree first daya, but on Uie 7th Uie wind chopped round and blew very hard from the westward. On Uie 8th the storm increased and continued on the Oth, and raised to auch a tremendous pitch on the 10th that Uie fore starboard, the bulwarks and ice-house were carried away the fore cabin filled with water Uie passengers were washed out, Uie bedding saturated, and the rudder sprung. Part of Uio after bulwarks and the iron rail on the taflrnil were twiated off; the wheel-house damaged and the larboard paddle-box partially Move in.
